Sir
When I was in Richmond you were of the opinion that you would have money to disburse toward supporting schools that are not supported by charitable societies  Will you please inform me if you have any money for such purposes and how much will be allowed to each Scholar  I am quite ankious to Establish a School at Providence Church in this County  they are sadly in need of a school and these would probably be about 50 Scholars (ie the average number) If any money will be allowed I would like to Establish the School immediately.

I Am Very Respectfully
Your obt Servant
